I’m sure there probably was some sort of class bias that people experienced back before the government got involved in eliminating it. Like before 1963 or something.
Fact is, no salesman keeps his seat very long disrespecting potential customers. That’s why they go through the elaborate qualifying rituals.

When the best are doing it you don’t even notice it.

Time is money
No reason to waste either.

People like to buy but not be sold.

You’ve probably noticed auto manufacturers all about your “buying experience” these days. Salesman doesn’t play, he don’t stay.

I guess lawyers can take solace in this life knowing salesmen will be at least one rung lower in Hell.

I don't know anything about journalism or journalists now, lonesome. Speeding toward Orwellianism, everything we see and hear is "fake."I saw it on TV. I got out just in time. S'pose hockey's next? Sid a robot controlled by Dr. No under palm tree?

It may be apocryphal in US, CZ. I doubt it. A friend, a woman surgeon who served in the Polish military, paratrooper who could "kill with one hand," working here as a new Canadian at a Halifax hospital, wearing jeans on a Saturday morning, walked into a Suburu dealership, ready to buy. The salesman said she couldn't afford it and returned to his office. Benigna went across the harbour, bought a snazzier Suburu, and went back and told the snotty salesman his attitude cost him a nice commission.

And she’ll have been contacted by Subaru shortly thereafter for a post sale interview. If she told that story, the salesman gets axed.

Recognize that the manufacturer doesn’t specifically concern itself with that individual sale, a car was sold. They worry about developing brand loyalty.
For the next few sales.
I don’t believe this phenomenon is as common as other people believe. I think it mostly an urban myth.
It takes but a couple minutes to determine if a prospect can actually purchase the car. Socsec number and an electronic filing for approval.
Even the laziest of sales people isn’t going to forgo their commission in the face of an offer, (even if it’s the most minimal) if a person is standing there and says they want to buy.

Wonder how they say "Up-Yours" in Polish-- or maybe she gave him the universal "hand salute"--But, IMO, most "snobs" like that salesman, have inferiority complexes--

The way I look at it Fox, is that the industry is still selling more than 15 million of them a year, so somebody must be doing something right. I think people bring their Own inferiority complex into the sales room more frequently than it’s projected by the staff.

I bought a Buick Tour-x for my wife a couple mos ago, and they couldn’t do enough for me.
I had my truck dealer serviced this week and it was the same thing.

I am nobody. Just a guy they’ll never remember. I don’t know why they are so hell bent on kissing my arse. I don’t care for it.
But they must have customers that require it or it wouldn’t be so wide spread.

Hope you didn’t pay sticker price.

Robot hockey? No thanks, King.

This could be a timing thing, do you roll out the 'sosec' up front or after the sales person ties up a little time in you? Maybe, over the phone when making a service appointment? I would keep first names only on the option list, at least until a decent deal looked doable.

If you want dealer arranged financing You know where that process starts.

It comforts me that all the DoubleGun shooting F150 drivers I see are financing their trucks for 7 years on avg. It means job security.

The NAIAS introduced the new Bronco, revitalized Ranger, Blazer, 8 levels of Silverado (to address every income and attitude level), and a new Cadillac suv.

We are peaking in the automotive world.
